MR. EDDY
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY F***IN' CAR
LENGTHS IT TAKES TO STOP A CAR AT 35
M.P.H.?
DRIVER:
No.
MR. EDDY
SIX F***IN' CAR LENGTHS... THAT'S
ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIX F***IN' FEET,
MISTER! YOU WERE FOLLOWING TEN FEET
BEHIND ME... IF I'D HAD TO STOP
SUDDENLY, YOU WOULD HAVE HIT ME. I
WANT YOU TO GET A DRIVER'S MANUAL,
MOTHERF***ER... AND I WANT YOU TO
OBEY THE GOD DAMN RULES. FIFTY F***IN'
THOUSAND PEOPLE WERE KILLED ON THE
ROAD LAST YEAR.
(hitting the driver
once again hard)
CAUSE OF F***IN' A**HOLES LIKE YOU.
TELL ME YOU'RE GONNA GET A MANUAL.
DRIVER:
I'll get a manual.
(almost a whisper)
and study it.
MR. EDDY
(kicking the man)
F***IN' "A".
Mr. Eddy and his assistants return to the Pullman - get in
and slam their doors.
Mr. Eddy throws the Pullman into reverse and pulls back off
the hill onto Mulholland Drive. He eases the car into "drive"
and leaves the crying and beaten tailgater behind.
CUT TO:
INT. MR. EDDY'S 600 PULLMAN - DAY
Mr. Eddy rotates his neck - shaking out some adrenaline
remnants. Pete is visibly shaken by what he has seen.
MR. EDDY
Sorry about that, Pete, but tailgating
is one thing I can't tolerate.
PETE:
I can see that.
MR. EDDY
I'll bet you know how many car lengths
it takes to stop at... say 45 m.p.h.
PETE:
Eight, nine car lengths. A hundred
and sixty-two feet.
MR. EDDY
At sixty?
PETE:
Fifteen car lengths. About two hundred
and seventy feet.
MR. EDDY
(to his companions in
the reariew)
What'd I tell ya.
Mr. Eddy smiles and they continue along their way.
CUT TO:
EXT./INT. ARNIE'S GARAGE - DAY
The Pullman pulls off the street into Arnie's. Mr. Eddy and
his assistants stay in the car. Pete opens his door.
MR. EDDY
Wait a minute...
Mr. Eddy takes out a couple of one hundred dollar bills and
puts them into Pete's hand.
PETE:
Thanks, Mr. Eddy.
MR. EDDY
No... Thank you!... I'll be bringin'
the "Caddy" by tomorrow.
Mr. Eddy reaches into the glove compartment and takes out a
videotape. He holds it out to Pete.
MR. EDDY
You like pornos?
PETE:
Pornos?
MR. EDDY
Yeah. Give ya a boner.
PETE:
No thanks, Mr. Eddy.
Mr. Eddy tosses the tape back in the glove compartment.
MR. EDDY
Suit yourself, champ.
PETE:
Okay... Well, I'll see ya then.
MR. EDDY
You will.
CUT TO:
EXT. ARNIE'S GARAGE - DAY
Ed and Al are staring at the Pullman. They see Pete get out.
They notice the man driving the Pullman.
ED:
You recognize that guy?
AL:
Yeah... Laurent.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN:
Pete walks out his front door with a lunch box and jumps in
the Camaro.
He fires up the big engine and heads off for work.
Ed and Al follow.
DISSOLVE TO:
INT. ARNIE'S GARAGE - DAY
Pete is on a skate - working under a car. The radio is on
and a tune comes on that begins to drive Pete crazy - it
gives him a headache. The tune is one of Fred Madison's be-
bop saxophone pieces. Pete gets out from under the car and
goes to the radio. He changes the station. PHIL, another
mechanic working nearby, looks at Pete.
PHIL:
Why'd you change it? I liked that.
PETE:
Well, I didn't.
Pete rubs his throbbing head and when he gets back under the
car, he lays on the skate - unable to work.
A car horn honks and the sound reverberates inside the garage.
Pete looks up - from under the car he sees the wheels of a
Cadillac roll up just outside the open garage doors. He sees
a car door open and Mr. Eddy's feet appear and walk in his
direction.
Pete winces and wheels himself out from under the car. He
stands as Mr. Eddy walks up to him, then freezes as he sees -
back behind Mr. Eddy, sitting in the passenger seat of the
car - a beautiful blonde-haired GIRL, who looks exactly like
Renee.
